Overnight fast train service between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to start September 17

The fast train between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv will begin offering overnight service in the coming weeks, the Transportation Ministry announces.

Starting September 17, trains headed in each direction will run once an hour between Saturday and Wednesday nights.

The ministry says the service will not be offered Thursday — typically the main evening for nightlife in Israel — because of a need for maintenance at the Jerusalem end of the line, though the train will run all night between Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport, where it stops regularly.
